As the co-founders of IKS, Joe Passarelli and I, give our thanks and appreciation to all the customers and people who have participated in making IKS what it is today. We are all very proud of what we have been able to achieve over the past 10 years and we consider ourselves to be fortunate to be successful especially with the recent economic struggles. It is certainly a testament that our customers do see value in our products and services and that it is important to their businesses. I think I can speak for everyone at IKS in that we are passionate about the work that we are doing and it is very rewarding. We are achieving our vision and are now in a better position than ever to take our software products and services to a new level.

IKS came from humble beginnings in a basement office with a small, focused customer base. IKS has experienced consistent growth and is now a company of approximately 50 employees with two office locations, our headquarters in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and an office in Midland, Michigan. A key element of the IKS vision and mission was to be a product company and we now have established a life cycle for more than 20 commercial software products for Equipment Reliability, Site Security and Access Authorization. IKS has developed a large customer base including generation and transmission & distribution companies in North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. IKS has an affiliate company, ERX (Equipment Reliability eXcellence), which increases our capabilities to offer a more comprehensive solution to our customers while maintaining the most effective business models.

We have come a long way in our first 10 years and we have set aggressive goals for the next 1, 3, 5, and 10 year horizons. We are going to strive hard to innovate at the desktop level to provide a transparent and powerful user experience that will benefit the industry. Our new version 4.1 platform release, which we are launching in 2010, is a step in that direction. We look to everyone’s involvement in continuing to shape our vision, mission, and offerings in the future.

Thanks to everyone and best regards,

Evan Niemkiewicz
